How many USA states you can name?

[碇 シンジン 27,442]

I think I can remember maybe 20-30 and I'm not even american

 

Do you have to learn all states at school there in America?

 

How many you can remember?

 

 

[Darker 1,352]

None, honestly. I don't live there, I remember a few of them, but I'm not very sure.

[Teller 360]

I've lived here for 19 years, and it would be a shame if I didn't remember all of them.

[Guest90210 3,569]

If you gave me a blank map, I'm sure I could name every single state and it's location. Haven't practiced it in a couple years or so, but I think I still remember

[Gernia 692]

I remember at a young age, maybe 9 or so, where we spent lime in school learning about every state, so I believe it's implied that we should know all of them. I can remember all the states, but it would take some time to name them since there's 50 to recall.

[SparklingSwirls 21,606]

Yeah, I live in the US, and I had to learn all the states. If I had a blank map I could name them all easily; otherwise I might repeat one or two

 

A more impressive fact is that I can name all the countries of Europe as well

[Leonard Smix 421]

I know all of the states, but I think this question is directed toward people who are foreign to America. (I could be mistaken)

[Hovershy 3,816]

Oh god this is so embarrassing but up until a little while ago, I thought West Virginia was literally Western Virginia. I didn't know it was actually a state.   I seriously have no idea how I went on so long without knowing that.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

I live in Tennesse, and in Tennessee schools we're only taught about the states that border us (In case they attack) and we're told that everything else is Europe and that's where the terrorists live.

[Odyssey 5,719]

I don't live in the US, so because of that, I can only name 10-20 of the states. I'm rather surprised by how many people can name all of the states.

[DubWolf 19,989]

All of them. Is this really a question :comeatus:?

 

Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina...lolz I think we get it (I didn't look at a map).

 

Finishing, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jeesey, Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

 

And how could I forget Nevada :comeatus:?

Do you have to learn all states at school there in America?

 

Hahahahahaha.

 

Yes, early in the first few years. After that they are usually not dwelt on much. If I were to ask the average passerby what the capital of Montana is ... I bet most wouldn't know.

 

-_-

 

'Murica ... Where you don't have to know bout 'Murcia

 

Sigh

And yes I can name all States, their capitals, order of admittance, most of their Senators, Governors, and all territories, protectorates, commonwealths. BTW there are not 50 States.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

Colorado, Washington...

 

...

 

I forget the rest.

[SCS 7,537]

This brings me back to this song I sung in a musical way back in elementary school that listed all 50 states. After all this time, parts of it can still get stuck in my head without much effort xD I remember this song with fondness, though.
 
Drawing from what I remember from the song and missing pieces I can fill in from memory, I can list 34 states:
 

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
East Virginia
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Montana
Nevada
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vermont
Washington
West Virginia

 

 

Edit: And of course I start remembering several more after I post this, but I won't include that in my original list. Interesting to see how many I can remember initially.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

East Virginia

 

GRAB YOUR PITCH FORKS, FELLOW VIRGINIANS.

 

TONIGHT WE RIDE FOR SCS'S HOUSE.

Oh damn, that's not a state. I knew West Virginia was a state and assumed there was an East Virginia.

 

It's just Virginia and West Virginia apparently.

[caramba2654 602]

Let me see...

 

Idaho

Ohio

Texas

Alabama

California

Rhode Island

New York

Nevada

South Dakota

North Dakota

Florida

South Carolina

Winnipeg

Mississipi

Massachusets

Washington

Connecticut

 

 

I guess that's it. Can someone check to see if I invented any states before I cast my vote? XD

[Scootaloodle 1,623]

Not an American, but can I have a go and see?

 

Chicago (House musics birthplace)

New York (Garage musics birthplace)

Philly (Discos birthplace)

Pennsylvania (that place that sounds like Transylvania) 

Alabama (shooting, racism and good ole fashioned metal illness)

New-Mexico (Breaking Bad)

Alaska (cold place)

New Jersey (Chucky was set there, oh and I went to old Jersey where NJ was anmed after and it's a dump)

Indiana (The Middles set there, and it sounds like India)

California (famous people and palm trees)

 

10 I managed, pretty good for someone who ain't even American

Yep.

 

We Virginians are the OGs, we refuse to be downgraded to East.

[Jeric 46,890]

Virginia? When did the Old Dominion become a State? O.O

 

Just kidding

[Jennabun 1,579]

I have them all memorized in alphabetical order. We learned the song "50 Nifty United States" in elementary school where you sing all the states' names in alphabetical order, and I've remembered them all ever since!

 

 

♪Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado... Connecticut!♫

[ponylaces 1,870]

I can name all of them. We learned a song in 5th grade about all the states, and thanks to my freaky talent of memorizing lyrics so easily, I know all the states.

[ARagY 1,153]

All of them, basically, not a very hard challenge when you've heard them enough, lol.
